We negotiated 20% off a BMW120i a couple of years back from a dealership that had construction work being done in front of it and the deal was sealed on the last day of the financial year. Our price was car plus all the options we could get our hands on for $1 under the luxury car tax...

Hi Sean, Here's one way to look at wrapping. Many Australians have purchased a home with a loan from a bank. At present the interest rates charged by first tier lenders are around 8-9% and while high, people pay it. But the banks buy this money via securities for a lower rate. In effect...

Hi, There's really two parts to the question here... 1) What happens to the property? - if its a lease/option or terms contract, then title remains with the vendor-financier. You go through the default process under the UCCC, and foreclose and remove any caveats etc. 2) Are you able to...
